Mamata Banerjee Targets PM Modi Over ‘Jhalmuri’ Moment in Bengal Rally

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi following his recent rallies in the state, where a video of him eating jhalmuri in Jhargram went viral.

Reacting to the clip, Banerjee termed the act as “drama” aimed at gaining public attention. She alleged that such moments are carefully staged to create a relatable image among voters rather than reflecting genuine interaction with the public.

The Chief Minister further questioned the authenticity of the crowds attending the Prime Minister’s rallies. She claimed that people are often transported from different locations, including by trains, to increase turnout at these events.

According to Banerjee, the BJP lacks sufficient grassroots strength in West Bengal to mobilise local support independently. She also accused the party of relying on central agencies to influence the electoral environment and create pressure during campaigns.

Her remarks come at a time when political activities in the state are intensifying ahead of upcoming elections, with both state and national leaders actively engaging with voters. The exchange highlights the growing political tension in West Bengal, where sharp rhetoric and accusations continue to shape the campaign narrative.
